Comment (by adamwill):
Just to streamline discussion, AIUI there's several different writing
methods and several different ISOs to consider.
The ISOs we have to consider are:
* Live images
* DVD images
* boot.iso / netinst.iso images
* install.img image
The writing methods we have to consider are:
* dd (and equivalent utils, e.g. Windows tools which just do a simple raw
image like dd does)
* livecd-iso-to-disk
* liveusb-creator
* unetbootin
It would help to know exactly which writing methods, with which images,
are considered supported. It seems obvious that live images with livecd-
iso-to-disk and liveusb-creator are supported, and anything with
unetbootin is *not* officially supported (as we don't control that tool).
The grey area for me is exactly what should and shouldn't work with dd,
and to what extent we support writing the non-live images to USB stick
with livecd-iso-to-disk and liveusb-creator .
